Hi Anthony19

First I must declare that I am no medical expert. However, from experience I can say that the feelings and accompanying symptoms of anxiety can be a little scary and cause often misleading indicators such as the chest discomfort you describe. Often the fact of not knowing and imagining the worst will feed the anxiety.

If you are feeling no other symptoms such as dizzyness, breathlessness etc. then don't worry although even these symptoms can be caused by panic or anxiety responses.

My advice is get checked out. An ECG and Echocardiogram will soon rule out any serious conditions which I expect is the case with you. Then your anxiety will be reduced and possibly the chest discomfort with it. Even so, if something does show you will then have a reason and still your anxiety will still be relieved because you can hang it on a cause and deal with it from there.

A resting pulse of 60+ is perfectly normal. If you feel it doesn't increase enough with more exertion then unless you feel adverse symptoms or intolerance to exercise don't worry, but I would still get checked out.

Chest pains can be symptoms of anxiety itself or even skeletal or muscular, not always heart issues.

Try to relax, use relaxation therapy or cd. It helped me. Get checked out. Good luck
